Hi all,

I have an issue which I would like to discuss ore get some advice.

I have complet my s14 swap to my e21 with motor and gearbox (getrag 265) euro spec. and I´m running the e21 323 rear.
Due to the gearbox swap I can´t install the speedo wire to the gearbox so I´m wondering if any of you have experienced the same issues and how did you solve it? I´m looking to have as original look as possible. I´ve done some research on the forum but haven´t got a clear answer..

looking forward to some help..

You have to fit the back of an electric speedo from another bmw into the face of the original. Not easy and id question the accuracy too.

Yes that would be an idea, but I still need to pick up the rotation from somewhere, as I still have the e21 rear differential.. I´ve heard that the getrag 265 box has the opening to install the gear for the speedocable in the box and that it just plugged.. I´m trying to find out if its true or not and searching around...

you can get a device the kit car guys use - it fits on the prop and uses a hall sender which sends the signal to the speedo.

this is an example http://www.greengauges.com/help/faq4.asp
